Hi I wanted to give an update. I have been going to Mata Hair Solan about 4-5 months I think. However, I really enjoy this shop. I like the vibes and ai can bring my son. Again, I always get compliments about my hair at work , due the majority of them are women and also most have haves as hair texture, but just women generally compliment me. I wanted to thank Mata and her baby sister. About a month ago I called last min, and Mata was out of town, however she had me contact her baby sister and she hooked me up that same weekend. I recently went and wanted to show pictures when her sister did my braid and more recently when mata did it , the first pictures are mata and the last 3 are her any sister. I do my own hair cuts so all I have to do is a fade and shape up. Soon I will getting locs wh

Mata did a great job! I’m in the process of growing my hair , however I have very soft hair and the last two ppl to did my hair, it would start coming out day 2. Mata already could see this before I mentioned it. I called on Friday and came by to see her , she set an appointment up on sat for me. I had my son with me, which she did not mind. He sat in a chair near me as I got my hair braided.it did not take long. She seems very patient. I went to work the next day and as male I don’t know what to look for in braids , but all the ladies at work said she did a great job, as I agree! I know once I my hair grows more, I can get the styles I I have seen online. I will be back! Thanks Mata.

My experience was very disappointing. I am nine months pregnant, and another stylist besides Mata completed my hair. Throughout the appointment, I was never asked if I needed a break or would like to stand or walk around. The stylist initially began doing box braids instead of the knotless braids I requested, and if it weren’t for Mata’s attentiveness, I might not have noticed the mistake until the style was completed. Additionally, the stylist’s child was sick and coughing in the salon. Although she eventually gave him medicine, she later returned to braiding after coughing into a tissue and did not sanitize her hands. While my braids turned out nicely, the overall service and experience were unacceptable. I truly appreciate Mata for speaking up and ensuring my style was corrected. If you

My appointment was at 9am and she was done at 1:45. At times there were two doing my hair but I was ok with that. And yes there were three of their kids there but I didn’t have a problem with that. She didn’t keep stopping to check on her son. I work with Kindergarten and used to work with Preschoolers so I didn’t mind the kids being there at all. It may seem unprofessional to some but not so much to me. Besides, this is not the first time that I have been to a braiding salon where they had their kids there. Also, this is the fastest that I have ever had my hair braided and I love how it looks. I will definitely be going back.
